    Default STUPID question by my sons..Do all DOGS sleep with their tails down?...lol

    kinda made me laugh but then on the other hand do not know about all breeds........
    but in the pugs I can tell they are getting tired by watching the tail
    if the tail is down..they are asleep
    when they are up and alert the tail goes up....lol
    simple as that..

    my other pug years ago had some kind of issue and her tail did not turn up anymore at all with age.......

    the bullies for whatever tail they have..lol still goes down when they are sleeping
    up when they are alert...lol

    I am not sure about most other breeds that the tail goes up.......think they are the same..........the tail just likely relaxes...

    and your thoughts?

    I am surprised at the length of the tail in the pugs when it stretched out though......lol
    A pugs world is full of play and sleep and of course good food.........

    I've not seen a dog sleep with tail up.

    been trying to think Russ of another dog that I know that holds up their tail...lol
    but not thinking of any at the moment that I know personally...to check it out
    but my guess is the same they would all sleep tail down..

    I think when they relax their tails do too.It is amazing how long their curly tails are, Tinker's tail straightens out when she runs pugtonas. We figure it's like a rudder!
